Public Folder and Scheduling

We currently have 20+ resource accounts that track conference rooms,
projectors, laptops, etc. we are using the Auto Accept agent for scheduling
on exchange 2003.

We are looking for a way to have a rolled up view of a type of resource,
like a laptops calendar where all the individual laptops' schedules are shown
on one calendar.. and they retain their individual calendars and scheduling
info. We plan on using a public folder for this and are concerned that it
would not retain the changes if we used a forward from the individual
mailboxes...

Any Ideas, suggestions, third party tools... Etc?

Have you had a look at the Group Schedule? They are in 2002 and 2003 and
you can set it to show you all resources, or just some, or a team of people.

We have that configured as well, we are wanting a calendar view of it for
more of a quick reference that users are used to seeing...

Is there a way to import / create, the group schedule for everyone using a
script, macro, prf etc.??? I have created one on each of the individual
resource accounts that pulls up the other resources but have had to thus far
create a group view on individual users mailboxes so that they can see it...
we have approx 200 users so any way to automate this change would be
appreciated by our 2 techs that support our 4 sites...
